Peabody murder suspect to be returned to Massachusetts

The second suspect in a double murder in Peabody is on his way back to Massachusetts.

Wes Doughty was captured Friday in South Carolina. According to Wicked Local news partner, WCVB, he was transferred to the custody of Massachusetts officials Monday morning.

Doughty was wanted in connection with the murders of Jennifer O'Connor and Mark Greenlaw, who were found dead Feb. 18 in a home on Farm Avenue in Peabody.

He is also the suspect in a carjacking Wednesday night in Middleton, in which he drove the victim to Boston. The carjacking victim said during the trip, Doughty told the victim he killed the couple "because they gave heroin to his godfather."

Doughty was arrested while panhandling in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant along Highway 9 in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The vehicle stolen in the carjacking was recovered in a parking lot nearby.

Another suspect in the murders, Michael Hebb, was ordered held without bail on Tuesday.

Doughty is scheduled to be arraigned on two counts of first-degree murder in Peabody District Court on Tuesday, according to the Essex District Attorney's Office.
